Directed by
ARAM MANUKYAN A.K.A ARAMTINO
Armenia
Synopsis
The film tells the story of sculptor-painter Georgy Manukyan
How he decided to reproduce Trevi Fountain in Armenia, in the film, instead of Georgi, the thought speaks, maybe, the inner voice,
something, allegory, an attempt to present the hero from another angle.
In the film, screenwriter-director Aram Manukyan, using an allegorical approach, tried to present the hero from another point of view, where the hero speaks only two words in the film.
The thought or inner voice, voiced by the RA Honored Artist Babken Chobanyan, speaks for him. The film differs from the concept of classic genre documentaries in its presentation, at the same time giving the viewer emotions, dissent and motivating the impossible. Although this is Aram Manukyan's first film:
Ofuda
Directed by
yoshinobu nakamura
Japan
A horror that begins when a group who visited an abandoned village to try their luck brought back “a ofuda that should not be peeled off”.
When Yuta, a cameraman working at a photo studio in Tokyo, returned from a photography job, her manager and colleague Yuka weren't there.
When we thought about the appeal of Japanese horror movies, we decided to include three things: “rules,” “ghost visuals,” and “key items.”
This work has a “ofuda” rule, using old Japanese visuals and belongings for ghosts and ofuda for key items.

Through unique creative interventions, sports (and football in particular), Pakistan hopes to pave a new way for these exploited street children and show the world that some roads lead home. Concrete Dreams is the story of two boys, Owais and Salman, who met on the streets of Karachi and how their lives transformed, taking them to Brazil to win Bronze for Pakistan at the Street Child World Cup, turning them into national heroes
